Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular existence and other primitive life-forms; and that inherent in our very chemistry is a powerful force, a striving toward life maintenance that governs life in all its guises, including the development of genes that help regulate and transmit life. \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Order of Things\u003c\/i\u003e is a landmark reflection that spans the biological and social sciences, offering a new way of understanding the origins of life, feeling, and culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ewww.antoniodamasio.com\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eANTONIO DAMASIO\u003c\/b\u003e is University Professor; David Dornsife Professor of Neuroscience, Psychology, and Philosophy; and director of the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California.
